Description

    TECHNICAL FIELD
  • The present invention relates to a field of modification of macromolecule materials, and specifically relates to a PBAT resin composition with good color stability.
    • BACKGROUND
  • Poly(butyleneadipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) is a copolymer of butylene adipate and butylene terephthalate, with characteristics of both PBA and PBT. Poly(butyleneadipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) contains a flexible aliphatic chain and a rigid aromatic chain, and thus it has high tenacity and high-temperature resistance. Owing to a presence of ester bond, the PBAT is enabled to have biodegradability, being a very active degradable material in the present biodegradable plastic research and one of the best degradable materials in market application.
  • However, PBAT also has following defects, for example, a PBAT resin turns yellow easily after soaking in hot water, having poor color stability in resistance to boiling water aging, affecting an appearance of the material. Color-stabilized PBAT compositions are known from US2013018130 .
  • The present invention surprisingly finds by research that in the PBAT resin, by adding an iron-containing compound, the prepared PBAT resin composition has obviously improved color stability in resistance to boiling water aging.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • A purpose of the present invention is to provide a PBAT resin composition. The prepared PBAT resin composition has obviously improved color stability in resistance to boiling water aging by adding a trace amount of iron element into the composition.
  • The present invention is realized by following technical solutions:
    a PBAT resin composition, characterized in that, it comprises following components:
    1. (a) poly(butyleneadipate-co-terephthalate);
    2. (b) iron element;
    wherein, based on a total weight of the PBAT resin composition, a weight content of the iron element is 1ppm-500ppm.
  • The weight content of the iron element in the present invention is measured by a microwave digestion-ICP-OES method: 0.1g of a smashed sample is weighed and put into a microwave digester; 5ml of nitric acid is added so as to fully immerse the sample, followed by dropwise adding 1.0ml of hydrogen peroxide slowly; after reacting for 2 minutes, the digester is covered and sealed with a lid and put into a microwave digestion furnace for digestion; after the furnace is cooled to room temperature, a solution in the digester is filtered with a 0.45µm-filter membrane followed by being transferred to a volumetric flask, and then is diluted to 50ml with distilled water and measured by an ICP-OES.
  • The poly(butyleneadipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) resin in the prior art is a copolymer of butylene adipate and butylene terephthalate, which turns yellow easily after soaking in hot water. A main reason of turning yellow is that an aromatic structure thereof reacts in a hot and humid condition and generates a new conjugated structure. By research, the present invention finds that by adding an iron-containing compound into the PBAT resin and controlling the content of the iron element in a range of 1ppm-500ppm in the composition, a speed of reaction can be postponed, so that the prepared PBAT resin composition has obviously improved color stability in resistance to boiling water aging.
  • If the content of the iron element in the PBAT resin composition is too high, the PBAT resin presents a color of greyish-green, which affects an appearance. If the content of the iron element is too low, after the PBAT is aged in boiling water for 24 hours and 48 hours, the color changes severely and a variation of b-value is more than 2. Therefore, based on the total weight of the PBAT resin composition, the weight content of the iron element is preferably 10ppm-250ppm, more preferably 30ppm-80ppm.
  • The poly(butyleneadipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) resin in the present invention can be synthesized by conventional methods in the art.
  • Particularly, a weight content T% of butylene terephthalate unit in the poly(butyleneadipate-co-terephthalate) resin is 35wt%-65wt%. When T% is less than 35wt%, an obtained product is too soft to be used. When T% is more than 65wt%, the product is too hard to be used.
  • Particularly, a melt index of poly(butyleneadipate-co-terephthalate) resin is 8g/10min-25g/10min in a standard of GB/T 3682-2000 under a condition that temperature is 190°C and a load is 5kg. If the melt index is less than 8g/10min, energy consumption during processing is relatively high, resulting in being unable to make full use of a capacity of a molding equipment. If the melt index is higher than 25g/10min, the processing of product is unstable.
  • A route of acquiring the iron element in the present invention is by means of adding an iron-containing compound directly into the synthesized poly(butyleneadipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) resin.

  • The antioxidant is selected from one or more of the group consisting of hindered amine antioxidant, hindered phenols antioxidant or phosphites antioxidant. It can be specifically listed as one of or a mixture of two or more of 1010, 168, 1076, 445 and 1098.

    By adding the iron-containing compound into the PBAT resin and controlling the content of the iron element in a range of 1ppm-500ppm in the composition, a speed of reaction of aromatic structure in the PBAT resin under a hot and humid condition can be postponed, so that after the prepared PBAT resin composition is aged in boiling water for 24 hours and 48 hours, the variation of b-value is less than 2. The PBAT resin composition has obviously improved color stability in resistance to boiling water aging.
    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
  • The present invention will be further described below by way of specific implementations, and the following embodiments are preferred implementations of the present invention, but the implementations of the present invention are not limited by the following embodiments.
  • Iron-containing compounds used in the present invention are commercially available.
  • A synthesis method of a PBAT resin:
    a metric amount of terephthalic acid and 1, 4- butylene glycol were put into a reaction kettle, with the temperature being increased to 220-240°C for reaction until the terephthalic acid was completely reacted. A metric amount of adipic acid was put into the reaction kettle followed by the reaction being continued at 180-220°C until the adipic acid was completely reacted. Suitable amounts of catalyst and stabilizer were added. A pressure inside the reaction kettle was decreased below 50Pa within 30-60 minutes. The reaction was performed at 220-260°C until a specified viscosity was reached, and then a stirring was stopped and high-purity nitrogen was injected to the reaction kettle. The PBAT resin was obtained by extruding the resin from the reaction kettle and prilling. By changing an addition of terephthalic acid and adipic acid, PBAT resins with different contents of butylene terephthalate unit can be obtained.
  • In particular, the content of butylene terephthalate unit was measured by 1H NMR, with deuteriochloroform being a solvent and TMS being an interior standard. A result was calculated according to the following formula: T ⁢ % = 220 ∗ S 8.1 220 ∗ S 8.1 + 200 ∗ S 2.3 ∗ 100 ⁢ %
    Figure imgb0001
    • wherein: T% represents the content of butylene terephthalate unit;
    • S8.1 represents an absorption peak area at 8.1ppm in a 1H NMR spectrum;
    • S2.3 represents an absorption peak area at 2.3ppm in the 1H NMR spectrum.
    Embodiments 1-20 and Comparative Embodiments 1-2:
  • According to formulas shown in Table 1, PBAT resin, iron-containing compounds and other promoters such as antioxidant 1010, erucamide, light stabilizer UV-944, impact modifier PTW, flame retardant OP 1240, titanium dioxide as fluorescent brightener, talcum powder as lubricant, tributyl citrate as plasticizer, antistatic agent PELESTAT-230, silicone oil as release agent and carbon black 50L as pigment, were mixed evenly and put into a single screw extruder. After being extruded at 170°C-210°C and prilled, the compositions were obtained. Data of performance tests is shown in Table 1.
    • Performance evaluation method:
    1. (1) color: spherical particles after prilling were employed and directly tested via a DC-P3 full-automatic colorimeter produced by Beijing Xingguang Color-Measurement Instrument Co., ltd.
    2. (2) a weight content of the iron element was measured by following method: 0.1g of a smashed sample was weighed and put into a microwave digester; 5ml of nitric acid was added so as to fully immerse the sample, followed by dropwise adding 1.0ml of hydrogen peroxide slowly; after reacting for 2 minutes, the digester was covered and sealed with a lid and put into a microwave digestion furnace for digestion; after the furnace was cooled to room temperature, a solution in the digester was filtered with a 0.45µm-filter membrane followed by being transferred to a volumetric flask, and then was diluted to 50ml with distilled water and measured via Agilent Technologies 700 Series ICP-OES.

    Figure imgb0003
    Figure imgb0004
  • In particular, b0 represents a b-value before boiling water aging, b24 represents the b-value after boiling water aging for 24 hours, and b48 represents the b-value after boiling water aging for 48 hours. b0-b24 represents a difference value between the b-value before boiling water aging and the b-value after boiling water aging for 24 hours. b0-b48 represents a difference value between the b-value before boiling water aging and the b-value after boiling water aging for 48 hours. The smaller an absolute value of the difference value is, the better a color stability of the composition in resistance to boiling water aging can be.
  • It can be seen from Table 1 that, when the content of the iron element in the PBAT composition is 1-500ppm, after the PBAT composition is aged in boiling water for 24 hours and 48 hours, a variation of b-value is less than 2. It indicates that the composition has good color stability in resistance to boiling water aging. When the content of the iron element is less than 1ppm in Comparative Embodiment 1 and the content of the iron element is more than 500ppm in Comparative Embodiment 2, the variation of b-value is more than 2. It indicates a relatively poor color stability of the composition in resistance to boiling water aging.
